markets and the state, using a diverse set of tools and methods drawn largely from economics, political
science, and sociology. The term political economy is derived from the Greek polis, meaning “city” or
“state,” and oikonomos, meaning “one who manages a household or estate.” Political economy thus can
be understood as the study of how a country—the public’s household—is managed or governed, taking
